Chapter 327: Keqing: Am I beautiful today

Chatting about Xiao and the Yaksha guardians?

Luo Li was quite surprised, not having expected to hear this from Zhongli.

To be reasonable, this guy had always appeared nonchalant, with an indifferent attitude toward worldly affairs.

Except for the country of Liyue, it was hard to see Zhongli develop much passion for anything.

Of course, entertainment and enjoyment in life didn't count.

Keqing, far away at the entrance of the inner pavilion, watched the two figures talking and did not rush over, but came to Ningguang’s side to chat with Yun Jin and others, though her gaze would occasionally cast over there.

The two didn't know what they were talking about; it was a full quarter of an hour before there was a sign of winding down.

Seeing Zhongli leave alone, leaving only Luo Li standing there wondering what he was thinking.

Keqing felt her opportunity had come and immediately took her leave from Ningguang and Yun Jin.

"Sorry, I’ll excuse myself first."

The two women had long noticed her absent-mindedness and were very clear about it, so they waved at her with a smile.

At the pavilion, thinking of what Zhongli had just said, Luo Li fell into deep thought.

"This guy, to think there would be such a time for him too."

After a slightly teasing laugh, he heard footsteps coming from behind.

"Mr. Luo Li."

A slightly joyful and happy girl’s voice rang out, and the undisguised expectation in it could be heard by anyone.

"It’s A-Qing, why, not chatting with Ningguang and the others?" Luo Li was not surprised at all and immediately asked.

"Eh, how did you know?"

"Although I was chatting with Zhongli, I would occasionally pay attention to the surroundings."

Keqing was slightly stunned, and then her heart surged.

Did this mean he actually paid attention to her too?

Once this thought arose, an intoxicating, nameless emotion would be born in her heart.

Keqing coughed lightly and said: "I just finished chatting, and happened to see you two separate, so I came over to say hello. There were too many people in the inner pavilion just now, it wasn't very convenient."

Not convenient?

Was this convenience of yours actually proper?

Luo Li teased inwardly but didn't say it out loud, otherwise, given Keqing’s current emotional stability, she might not be able to handle it.

"Is that so."

Without outsiders to disturb them, now that the two were alone, Luo Li began to carefully look Keqing up and down.

It had to be said that upon this look, he immediately discovered some small details he hadn't noticed before.

Besides that beautiful and dreamy new formal dress, she was wearing the ring she had purchased from Luo Li on the ring finger of her right hand.

Silently shifting his gaze, Luo Li discovered that Keqing’s earlobes were also hanging with a string of translucent crystal pendants.

She actually wore earrings?

This new discovery surprised him quite a bit; besides that, the chest area, which was tightly wrapped by the new formal dress, revealed a glimmer of light at some point.

Like a butterfly-shaped front ornament, on that cleavage, a necklace flashing with silver-blue light was buried deep within.

Usually, the young woman rarely used jewelry to dress up; her new image was truly eye-catching.

"How is it, how many points can my outfit today get?"

Seeing his rather amazed eyes, Keqing took the initiative to spin around.

The light, fluttering skirt like butterfly wings flew, highlighting her black-silk long legs to perfection.

Luo Li clearly noticed that she had used too much force, and thanks to this, he saw some rather wonderful things.

However, after spinning, Keqing pretended to be nonchalant, instead smiling like a flower.

Only if one looked closely would one find that the neck under her choker was pink.

It seemed that even the naturally bold and decisive Yuheng Star was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.

"Hmm, if ten points is the maximum, I’ll give it nine." Luo Li touched his chin and gave a serious evaluation.

"Only nine points?"

Keqing raised her chin slightly, her cheeks puffed out imperceptibly, showing a questioning look.

She had arranged everything, and had even consulted the makeup artist’s opinion, to present this perfect self.

Yet Luo Li said only nine points?!

This guy must be lying to her! Otherwise, he was saying it on purpose!

The young woman was dissatisfied, and before she could ask where that one point was deducted, Luo Li took the initiative to give an explanation.

"That’s right, leaving one point for future improvement. After all, in my opinion, you should be the most beautiful when you wear a wedding dress."

Meeting his eyes, which carried a gentle smile, Keqing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted.

Wait, what did he just say... wedding dress?

The young woman’s thoughts almost subconsciously followed Luo Li’s words to imagine herself wearing a wedding dress.

A phoenix crown with gold flowers and eight treasures, a five-colored cloud-patterned cape, printed with butterflies, mandarin ducks, pomegranates, goldfish... peonies, lotus flowers, rice ears...

Pearls and jade, nothing missing, rouge red lips, shy and timid.

And the one holding her hand to perform the rites of heaven and earth was the young man in front of her.

Just imagining it, Keqing almost became intoxicated.

This kind of daydreaming, after all, did not last long.

Because Luo Li interrupted her.

"A-Qing, A-Qing? A-Qing!"

Three times, representing three different attitudes; watching Keqing’s dazed look, Luo Li was very surprised.

He had only teased her as usual, why was she dazed?

"W-what?!"

By the time Keqing woke up, the wedding process had already entered the bridal chamber, the stage of blowing out the candles and extinguishing the lights.

"Why is your face so red?"

Luo Li never imagined that he had only mentioned it once, and Keqing had thought so far ahead.

Touching her cheeks, Keqing found that her face was frighteningly red, the scorching temperature as if she were sick, and the rose-colored charm rippled out.

Even if Luo Li didn't understand what had happened, he knew the little girl was thinking about unhealthy things.

"I just, maybe I feel a bit hot."

Love really makes a woman’s IQ go offline.

Luo Li was speechless, looking at the altitude of a thousand meters, and the cold wind blowing under the night sky.

You tell me you’re hot?

Almost instantly reacting that the excuse was too poor, Keqing was at a loss for words, her brain becoming blank, stammering and unable to speak.

"I... I just..."

"Hmm?"

"I..."

"You?"

Under Luo Li’s gaze, which seemed to see through everything, Keqing lowered her head slightly, her beautiful face actually showing a few strands of shy charm.

God knows what kind of excuse she should find to get through this now.

At this moment, she really wished there was a savior to rescue her from "fire and water."
